Slimmin'

Monday, March 14, 2011

So as you guys know with my job the food is abundant and I inevitably gained weight...8lbs to be exact. That's a lot for a little girl like me. It's not like I feel fat though. I feel great when I'm naked but once I put on clothes that fit my 8lb lighter frame I feel fat. So I've come to the conclusion that instead of trying to squeeze into skinny jeans and lamenting about my sausage thighs, I'm going to need some new clothes. So I got these slim boyfriend jeans over the weekend. And they make me feel amazing. WINNING.

The first and last time I wore this shirt was here. Like all JCPenney shirts, it was big and boxy so it kind of got lost in my closet with my other five shirts. Last night I finally took the sides in and it looks so good, you guys. I'm so domesticated, you have no idea. I suppose you kind of have an idea now.

I added this rhinestone necklace to not make it look too casual and western...like "look at me- I can get down and dirty but I'm still fancy."

You look so good. I think it is important to try to look good no matter what size you are. I am currently 80 pounds overweight. I'm exercising and eating sensibly and have lost some weight. Some people would make do with what they've got until they lost more weight. That just makes me feel frumpy. Women should look good and feel good no matter what their size. And you always look good!

Boyfriend jeans have been the answer to many of my prayers. If by prayers I mean muttered rants to fashion namebrands whilst trying to tug denim jeggings on. I've decided I think 'jeggings' are ridiculous.

I really like your outfit. Don't get too domesticated. I don't want to read about you cooking 5 course meals, and cleaning your house in 5 minutes flat. That will just make me feel unproductive. My Heart Blogged

You look fabulous, and I love those jeans! I gained a couple of pounds as well once I started my work because I can't say no to free food, but I figure my walking to and from work cancels out most of the food.

so maybe saying this shows that i was a terrible beehive but i can't sew. well, i probably can but my knowledge is very limited. i was just thinking yesterday, "i need to learn how to take in some of my shirts" not kidding, there is not a one that fits me just right. sooo, would you be so kind as to tell me how you do it?

Oh I feel you, still haven't lost the extra holiday pounds, but mine really show, you on the other hand look so good! New jeans fit you perfectly, great choice with the necklace totally take it to the fancy level!

omg if that's what you look like when you gain weight then i hate you :P j/k but you look great and those jeans are perfect...love how you paired them with girly shoes and jewelry. and i love how domesticated you are...you wanna sew my clothes too? :P

This outfit is SUPER cute. Gosh, I have been looking for bf jeans forever. I think this fall I will have to get a pair of gap ones. They look awesome on you! Oh, and ps, I haven't noticed that you've gained weight at all. You look gorgeous as always!

For someone having gained 8 lbs...the fact that you still look amazing makes me feel like a fat slob. :P Those jeans look uber comfy...I have some white cargo capri pants that are looser, like those...perfect weekend pant. :)

I absolutely love this outfit! and I love that you added the necklace to show that you still are girly! Oh my, I have to have this outfit right now. I need this today. Ahh! I'm going to think about it all day if I don't get my hands on this!

Don't get me wrong- I love a lot of your outfits, But i think this is the one that it most like me :)

I have jeans that are almost identical to these and I often worry that I look too slouchy in them. But after seeing this post, I know that these jeans can look perfectly feminine and casual at the same time. I will definitely be replicating this look! Thanks a million for the inspiration!

This is a great look. Love the rhinestones and girly accents with the country vibe. You look great in boyfriend jeans, BUT you are the tiniest person ever and can definitely rock whatever style of pants you want.

i think you look amazing! and i can't even tell you've gained weight at all. and i'm so impressed with your healthy attitude toward your weight gain. a lot of girls would be freaking out and starving themselves or something so thanks for promoting the opposite :) you rock!

I actually like leggings but it shows everything....and I'm not cool with that. Jeggings...I'm not sure what to think of them yet. I think it depends on the brand. I've seen fashion bloggers sport cheap quality jeggings where they're saggy... Nothing saggy is ever good.

You look so pretty! I love those jeans on you, I may need to snag a pair as I don't own any boyfriend jeans...yet. Love that you referenced Charlie Sheen haha I'm impressed that you took in your own shirt! Very domesticated!

like WOAH i love this outfit. a. because this is something i would totally wearb. its comfortable--which is the biggest factor in my outfit selectionc. you've inspired me! i'm going tomorrow to find some boyfriend jeans!

I'm just getting caught up on blogs, so I'm a bit behind. I love how you paired the plaid top with the sparkly necklace. I will definitely borrow this idea in the future. Sometimes I dress a little on the prairie side. I think a necklace like that would update my look. Thanks for the inspiration, as usual! :)
